BOOMER Magazine: May 2019
BOOM! Just like that I find myself with a new description — I’m a Boomer, and proud of it. There is a lot to be said of our generation, but the thing I keep coming back to is this: We have lived through some of the most fascinating times, and we continue to do so. We look in the rear-view mirror and there is so much to see. Politics, sports, education, travel, work — all the grand experiences of our lives; and I for one enjoy looking back, but I also look forward with great anticipation and wonder, and that’s what BOOMER is all about — our lives and our future. How fortunate we are, this generation of doers and the shapers of the future. We are living longer and arguably better than those who came before us. But like them, we take our place on our planet seriously and we impact the world and those around us in a big way. We are a generation that saves. We are a generation that fought (and is still fighting) for the things we have. We are a generation that gives to charities and those in our community in a bigger way than any generation who came before us, and for all of this we should feel proud. BOOMER Sacramento is designed to celebrate our generation and the life we live and will continue to live. We will very likely live longer and better than any before us, and we will love and be loved longer than our predecessors as well. Making magazines is something we have done for decades and we enjoy the heck out of it. We are blessed with a wonderful staff, fantastic advertisers who allow us to put this all together, and most importantly, readers like you. We promise to listen to you and to strive to make this a magazine you come to enjoy and look forward to each month. Lastly, please let us know what you think of our new publication — if you love it, please email me at terry@stylemg.com; if you find yourself not loving it and feel the need to let us know, please email wendy@stylemg.com – it’s her fault! —Terry Carroll & Wendy Sipple

Ask the<br />
Experts<br />
Q: If I have injuries or certain limitations, can<br />
I still work with a personal trainer?<br />
A: Yes, a seasoned trainer will absolutely be<br />
able to work with anyone, at any age, in any<br />
condition. In fact, hiring a trainer is especially<br />
important if you have an injury or limitation,<br />
because working with a professional,<br />
who specializes in body mechanics, is the<br />
safest way to move and best way to avoid<br />
injury. Every body is unique, which means<br />
that a one-size-fits-all health plan can be<br />
dangerous. An educated trainer will be able<br />
to comprise a custom plan that matches<br />
your specific pace. Trainers bridge the gap<br />
between physical therapy and exercise<br />
on your own. As trainers, it’s important to<br />
design each client's program to be uniquely<br />
suited to the individual—keeping you safe,<br />
healthy, and moving forward.<br />

Q: What are some small changes I can make<br />
to work toward my financial goals?<br />
A: Knowledge is power. If you find a<br />
team who can educate you on important<br />
concepts, and make topics that often seem<br />
complex simpler, you’ll understand what<br />
small changes you can make to personally<br />
work toward your goals. Understanding<br />
how to prioritize your saving and therefore<br />
your spending is paramount. Considering<br />
everyone has different goals, different<br />
compensation structures, and different<br />
ambitions, when it comes to financial goals,<br />
we should all be treated differently. Financial<br />
advisors should believe in liberating clients<br />
from financial concern through education<br />
and relationships so they can flourish.<br />
